“Destroy duchennes mission is to complete the cure for duchenne muscular dystrophy by advancing gene-editing and gene therapy technologies, the future of medicine, into human practice.”

“With the development and rise of gene editing, crispr-cas9, technologies, humanity has a real opportunity to cure virtually all genetic diseases, such as duchenne muscular dystrophy. Gene editing technology has given us the ability to rewrite our dna and correct faulty dna, like mutations that cause diseases. The applications for gene editing to improve the world are nearly endless and we want to be the champion of advancing gene editing to human trials for people with duchenne. It could be said that the current state of gene editing technology, crispr-cas9, is the tool to cure duchenne that needs to be perfected before it can be applied in humans. More scientific studies need to be done to perfect this tool, crispr-cas9, and that is why we so passionately say we need to: complete the cure.”

“Our founder, elijah stacy who is 19 years old, has taken an entire year to write a 100k word autobiography about his life living with duchenne and some of the life lessons he has learned because of it. This book gives an honest and even vulnerable look into what life is really like living with duchenne muscular dystrophy. By properly launching and publicizing the book/elijah's story, we believe we can solve the awareness problem surrounding duchenne muscular dystrophy. We believe this will lead to more drugs being passed by the fda because of a deeper personal understanding of duchenne and we believe it will allow us to raise more funds to accomplish our mission: complete the curetm for duchenne muscular dystrophy by advancing gene-editing and gene therapy technologies, the future of medicine, into human practice.”
